Product Detail

PIN Limiter Diode

MACOM's manufactures a series of silicon PIN
limiter diodes with small and medium I-region
lengths which are specifically designed for high
signal applications. The devices are designed to
provide low insertion loss, at zero bias, as well
as low flat leakage power with fast signal
response/recovery times. Parts are available
as discrete die or assembled into a variety of
surface mount or ceramic pill packages. See the
Available Case Style table on page 6 for the
specific ceramic package styles and their availability
for individual part numbers.
The MA4L and MADL-0110 Series of PIN limiter diodes
are designed for use in passive limiter control
circuits to protect sensitive receiver components
such as low noise amplifiers (LNA), detectors,
and mixers covering the
10 MHz to 18 GHz frequency range.
